THRIVE

A Positive Reinforcement Model

Recognition that fuels momentum.

THRIVE isn’t just a recognition program — it’s an energy shift. It’s designed to spark confidence, celebrate impact, and propel people forward. Where our old Employee Recognition model, PEARL, honored great work, THRIVE amplifies it — turning appreciation into momentum you can feel.

Bold, modern, and intentional, THRIVE reflects who we are today and where we’re headed next.

What is Thrive?

THRIVE is WESCO’s reimagined recognition program, built to celebrate effort, growth, and meaningful impact at every level. It recognizes that appreciation isn’t static — it’s powerful. When people feel seen, they don’t just perform… they thrive. Thrive is our recognition program designed to do just that—for both members and staff.

THRIVE is em’powered’ by recognition — creating a culture where acknowledgment fuels confidence, motivation, and forward motion.

Thrive for Members

For members, THRIVE recognizes growth, participation, kindness, and community involvement. Points earned through nominations can be redeemed for meaningful rewards, experiences, and opportunities that support independence and confidence.

Member recognition isn’t just about points—it’s about encouragement, momentum, and celebrating progress at every stage.

Thrive for Staff

For staff, THRIVE is a way to recognize dedication, teamwork, leadership, and the impact you make every day. Peer-to-peer nominations allow staff to lift each other up and celebrate the moments that matter most.

Recognition through THRIVE reinforces connection, appreciation, and shared purpose across our organization.

How Recognition Works

Thrive is simple, inclusive, and built around community.

Thrive extends beyond our walls. Community members and partners can participate by submitting nominations and voting—helping amplify positive impact and celebrate the people who make WESCO strong. Nominations celebrate positive actions, milestones, and moments that reflect WESCO’s values.

Each nomination earns points that are tallied monthly and contribute to recognition, rewards, and celebrations throughout the year.

Why Thrive Matters

Recognition isn’t just about saying “thank you.” It’s about building confidence, reinforcing values, and creating a culture where people feel energized to grow.

THRIVE turns appreciation into action — lighting sparks, building momentum, and empowering people to move forward together.

Because when people are recognized, they don’t just show up.

They THRIVE.
